- When
we appreciate the power of careful, more or less
solitary thinking, the kind of scrutiny that questions
everything from the ground up in the hope of building
a better idea, organization or whatever, we can
sympathize with the Rationals.
- We
can also appreciate the bravery and the loneliness
of these long-distance thinkers, who ponder everything
and desperately (and hopelessly) seek complete
understanding of everything, an impossible but
beloved goal of the Rationals.

| What
others may not like about Rationals |
- Irritate
others by frequently seeing interesting ideas
or directions of development uninteresting to
others.
- Can
become locked into a search for the ultimate and
perfect answer, procedure, etc. when no one else
cares about the subject.
- Seem
arrogant to others at times -- Sometimes deliberately
choose to ignore rules or others' wishes or concerns.
Focus instead on their own, more strictly logical
picture of what is going on and what should be
achieved in the future.
